July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in September 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kangaroo Point Airbnb took in A$35,432 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,920 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about A$3,360 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$4,080 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,260 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,660 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
